I was told, can't remember if in person, or in his book, by Lance Birk that all mottled leaf Paph species could be identified solely by the pattern of the leaves. Now, this may be of no use, first because yours may be a hybrid, and second because, unless there is a specialist around who knows the patterns, we would need samples of all mottled leaf Paph species to compare to. I have only recently started to collect Paph species, and many don't appeal and will never be in my collection. So we need a joint effort of people who have Paphs to post pictures of any Paphs they think are close. Even if it is a hybrid, the is an outside chance we may be able to pick out one of the parents. Anyway, I will be checking the pattern against my plants.
